2.1.2


to my valentine.

push. slap. bone. crunch. grind. drip. swing. pop.
I know more moves that you've learned in all your years
swinging your fat dangle around swinging your fat guitar
there is not one word you could say I have not heard before.
there is not one place you could take me I have not been.

if you were to bring me a hothouse full it would still not be
enough. and
if you were to feed me a country full it would still not be
enough.

You shiver at the slightest breeze. freeze at the smallest word.
Your world is smaller than the tip of my smallest finger.
there is not one syllable you could tongue I have not licked and
better and there is not one fold you could unfold that would
change any of this.

if you were to bring me a museum full it would still not be
enough. and
if you were to drown me an ocean full it would still not be
enough.
